crossbreeding magpie and blue swedish

[Micki21965]

I have a magpie hen and a blue swedish drake that have had babies i incubated. My question is if anyone knows whether babies are breedable or mules? I am new at ducks having babies and haven't been able to find out much info on the two breeds that i have crossed. Any info would be appreciated.

Both Magpies and Swedish are mallard derived breeds, and as such any offspring produced will be fertile. The infertility issue enters when mallard derived breeds are crossed with Muscovy or more rarely wild species.

Thank you souland for your response and information. It was very helpful!

I agree with sourland. Do you have any pics of the babies? I'd love to see how they turned out.

Hmm I've never done anything through my phone as it never let's me sign in but I have a tablet and I just click on the photo button look through my files and just click on the pic I want. My tablet doesn't show the picture but it shows the URL of the pic and when I hit reply that's when I can see the picture.

This is what they have turned out looking like so far. 2 resemble the blue swedish and 1 resembles the magpie. They are all too cute.
